Vexing Hecklers
Prerequisites
Description
Interest in fairies often becomes a bizarre fascination that cures itself. Indeed, many once-curious parties who run afoul of fae go to great lengths to avoid them after a dangerous encounter. Whether it’s due to their strange customs or their potentially fatal sense of humor, being the center of attention for a group of fairies is a dangerous place to be. With this power, you can make your victim a subject of great interest to a troupe of piskies, making her the object of their preoccupation. Test Pool Mental attribute + Academics skill versus target’s Mental attribute + Willpower
System
Spend 1 point of Blood and use your standard action to condemn your target as a subject of ridicule. To use this power, you must have your target’s Gaze and Focus. If you succeed min the opposed challenge, your target is plagued by an invisible troupe of mischievous piskies. These creatures deride her every failure with heckling voices, causing her tremendous frustration. For the next hour, whenever she loses an opposed challenge, your target receives a -1 penalty to the attribute category used in that challenge, as the piskies interfere with her efforts in a fit of laughter and insults. This penalty can be applied cumulatively, up to a maximum of -5 in each attribute category. These meddling creatures cannot be reasoned with, fought off, or otherwise deterred, but an individual with a Lore skill specialization related to the fae can attempt to pay them to go away. This negotiation cannot take place during combat. If the target does not have fae lore, another party may attempt to negotiate on her behalf. The Storyteller determines what the piskies might want; for example, sums of money may suffice, or they may want her car keys for a joyride, depending on the piskies’ current mood. At the end of the power’s duration, the piskies get bored and move along, causing the penalties to end immediately. Your target can only be affected by a single instance of this power at a given time. Additional applications extend the power’s duration, but they cannot raise the maximum cumulative penalty.
